CURVEBALL

Lou Barletta, former mayor of Hazelton, Pennsylvania and current Congressman representing Pennsylvania’s 11th congressional district, was the Republican candidate opposing incumbent United States Senator Bob Casey in the 2018 midterm election.

According to the Lou Barletta for Senate website, Lou took a break from studying Elementary Education at Bloomsburg State College (now Bloomsburg University) to try out for the Cincinnati Reds, but was sent home when the coaches figured out that he could not hit a curve ball.
